Download giefroot rooting tool v3.1 and extract the files on your PC (Windows only). [original thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/crossdevice-dev/sony/giefroot-rooting-tool-cve-2014-4322-t3011598]
Connect your phone to the computer.
Start install.bat
If until that moment you have never connected you phone to this PC via adb you will get a popup message on you phone to authorize this computer. Do it.
​
The procedure will start. After a while your phone should restart by itself.
After the phone boots up wait until a popup from SuperSu appears asking for adb shell root rights. Do it.
​
When you give the permission you have to see on the computer the sign "Device rooted".
If it says Device not rooted repeat all the steps running install.bat again.

No.

If I at some point would like to return to stock completely (not rooted no dualrecovery etc.) after rooting using this method could I just flash the Stock Firmware with flashtool?

Use flashtool (From flashtool.net) to flash the downgraded FTF file found in the FTF mega collection thread
EDIT @G-FACE, thanks for the reminder, the file you need is also, conveniently, found in the OP of this thread.

Tried this but the same issue as with another procedure I tried.
"Drivers need to be installed for connected device"
Why? I selected which FTF fw file the flashtool should be using, but it's still giving me this error. So strange that no one has had this issue, even though no guide mentions that one needs to install these drivers... :S

Maybe others actually install the drivers then
Goto C:\Flashtool\Drivers
and run
drivers.exe
Choose fastboot, flashmode and Z3 drivers
Then try again. The guides also do not mention that you have turn the PC on, some sort of self help in overcoming errors does help. If it says drivers need to be installed, install them...
PS, also there is never a need to quote the whole OP, I will edit that out for you

Choose the flashmode and fastboot drivers as well

If you are running Windows 8/8.1 you need to allow installation of unsigned drivers.
No problems with rw access if you follow the steps. Xposed installs normaly, as always, no problem installing it.
Rw access to SD is solved by installing SDfix from Market. I did it, and it's working as expected.

Sdcard empty after installing a rom

Hi
I'm having a strange problem with my phone. I cannot install any rom through TWRP. I mean it says "installation completed", but sdcard is empty. There are not a single file there!
I thought about 5.0 after unsuccessful installation of xnote rom. Everything went fine through odin and I was able to use the phone. What I noticed after flash, there are some additional apps from xnote like xposed, xnote transformer, app settings etc.
My actual TWRP version is 2.8.5.0 and the phone is N910F
Any advice?
FOR ANYONE COMING TO MY THREAD - THE SOLUTION IS AT THE END OF THE THREAD.

My problem is with the phone itself. My sd card is fine.
by /scdcard I meant the place where any rom is installed
Or I missunderstood something

Refresh
Changed the sd card and still nothing. It happened after installing Lollipop TWRP is wrong or what?
TWRP says my rom is installed correctly but I see nothing in /sdcard folder ...
UPDATE FOR ANYONE WHO IS SEARCHING FOR SOLUTION!
My Sandisk Ultra 32gb card is fine, it wasn't the sd card problem.
One day my friend wanted to check my android version and asked me why I'm running Lollipop, when I'm running Kitkat actually. I figured out that I got two android systems mixed together. Some people say I got two "caches".
To fix the problem simply download the stock rom that originally came with your phone. Go to your custom recovery, delete all data/format reset, make sure all is clean and double check that.
Then install the stock one through odin, turn the phone on and set up the beginner stuff (language,wifi,google account etc.).
//my phone asked me whether I want to update or not and actually I did the update but it shouldn't apply some magical stuff to my tutorial
Then root your device, flash custom recovery and you're good to go

Paranoid Android official build

Came across the official build for Paranoid Android
http://get.aospa.co/official/ivy
Have not installed or tested it yet as I'm posting this as of downloading.
Files for z5 family are up as well.

Running smoothly no app crashes or reboots. Twrp working fine.
Camera is not up to par but hopefully Sony gets this sorted in the next few months (only thing holding custom ROMs back)

Yeah I flashed your version as Oliver's versions file hosting was down.
I was on the cm build that I couldn't get into TWRP so flashed yours and installed AOSPA, Gapps and SuperSU. All working well :good:

@LMcR92
I remember you use E6553, right?
How about sdcard?

Yeah single sim here, SD card is working fine but it needs formatted to work. You have the options to use internally or portable.

1. Extract the zip file.
2. Browse to the META-INF/com/google/android directory, and open updater-script with notepad (notepad++, ...)
3. Delete the first line: getprop("ro.product.device") == "ivy" || abort("This package is for "ivy" devices; this is a "" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "".");
4. Save, re-zip and flash via TWRP.
Good luck.

I tried it for a little time without wifi and network and it seemed a little warm on the top as usual. I didn't run any power hungry apps.

@LMcR92 when i receive the call, speaker is very low, do you?

I have tried to flash this numerous times through TWRP. I have done it on a totally clean (wiped) device. It installs, then gets through to the boot animation, after a long hang I get the starting andriod optimizing apps....and then it reboots and goes through the whole thing all over again. Any clues what I'm missing here?

Buggs!
Hello,
Double tap to wake up does not work :crying: and the stock camera looks like when i'm drunk, can someone solve this? thanks!

Wrong phone? This is for Ivy, the Z4.

For me, Wi-Fi isn't working well(some AP doesn't show up and that was for my home AP) so I couldn't use.
Others are good I think. Haven't used camera.

Verizon HTC 10 on T-Mobile

So I've spent a good hour searching these threads, and I still can't clear this up. Some people are saying the Verizon HTC 10 doesn't have band 12 at all. Others are saying it does, you just have to s-off to use it. Will my plan enable full compatibility with T-Mobile?
Here's my game plan:
Buy the HTC 10 on Craigslist
Downgrade if needed
Read this thread and hopefully figure out how to s-off with sunshine
Follow these instructions to change the CID
Download the TMUS firmware from the "No Wipe" category of this list, which I conveniently found on this forum that clearly says no CDMA devices
Leave the radios alone, since the firmware from above already contains the TMUS radios?
Reboot and cross my fingers?
Thanks everyone!

I'd just convert to us unlocked

Convertng to US Unlocked is the way to go. Works on ATT. Should work with T-Mobile

Which RUU did you use? I got mine directly from HTC's website (2.28.617.8) and received error 158. Any tips?
Edit: Also my phone is in the update mode with the picture of the phone and a green circle.... I'm afraid to power off

Also some more info - I was on 1.85.605.9 and downgraded to 1.85.605.8. Then, I used SunShine and got S-off with unlocked bootloader. Next, I tried installing HTC's RUU, which failed.
My plan was to install twrp and supersu after getting the unlocked RUU, but now I'm just stuck.
Thanks in advance

Hey! That's the exact post I was following along! Didn't even make the connection - thanks for your help so far. Anyway, I followed your guide until the part you said to download that RUU. I'm on 1.85.605.8, and the one in your link is 1.80.617.1. I was like...ehh better not downgrade, so I used the one from HTC's website. HTC actually gave me a warning (before it died) and said make sure you're updating to an equal or higher firmware. Should I be concerned about using an older one?
Also, flash twrp and supersu before or after receiving otas?
Again, thanks so much for your help! I'm trying my best to search the forums and not ask redundant questions!

Also, use magisk instead of supersu you will be able to keep safety
Net passing, and snapchat, plus get root and all the goodies. You will need a custom kernel though

System, data, cache, internal SD....basically everything but your external SD. Once wiped, go back to the format data option. Type yes, then reboot to download mode. Run your run from there

Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with S-Pen (SM-P585)

Hi All,
I'm basically starting this thread as i have not seen many users of this tablet and my main purposes are:
1) to look for users of the same tablet so we can pool our knowledge together as we go along this somewhat new and rare device
2) i would like to root the device and i haven't seen anyone post any guides yet for this device. FYI, i have already updated to Nougat 7.0 o the device. So far, all the guides i've seen are for Marshmallow.
i hope i can get some members to reply to my thread and, hopefully, have a running thread here in XDA... hoping that in the future we could get someone to develop a new ROM when Samsung decides to stop send OTA updates.

+1 here!
I've seen people already rooting it, but as I google for its root method, there are websites I just can't trust or see the positive results, or a few posts with "thanks, it worked".
If at least they could share to us where did they got the instructions for rooting...
---------- Post added at 09:24 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:18 PM ----------
Hmmm xda have posted how to root it.
A few paragraphs further on the first post of this topic there's a procedure for rooting.

Blank screen in Recovery Mode while trying to root SM-P585Y
I'm a little disheartened to see so few subscribers to this thread but here goes:
I'm trying to root my SM-P585Y using Odin and flashing TWRP recovery. Everything's fine until the step where I have to boot from Download Mode into Recovery Mode. Instead of going into the normal recovery screen, my screen just goes blank occasionally displaying a few random lines or vibrating when I push random buttons trying to get some sort of response. I can get it back into Download Mode by pressing "Volume Down + Power + Home" but that's about it. I've essentially lost Recovery Mode, and a regular reboot from Download Mode by pressing Volume Down just takes me back to the blank screen with random lines.
Any ideas on what to do?

The TWRP device tree of P585Y is from MM. If your tablet is android 8.1, it'll cause error. Just flash stock rom or stock recovery to fix it. If you want to root, just use magisk.

Extract boot.img from stock rom file. Just use Magisk manager app to patch the boot.img. Then rename generated file to boot.img and compress it to tar file. Finally flash the file with odin in AP.

This method works with oreo stock rom.
If you want twrp, downgrade to android 6.0

Hi everyone
If i rooted my device (P585), with this method that patch boot.img with magisk, i'll use adoptable storage or only in twrp mode?
Sorry for my question, but i'm confused.

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab A6 with S Pen ... but on the tab I can't install the app, also not factory reset
anyone have a solution?
thank you

Has anyone found a 64bit rom for this device? I really want to use it to fly my mini 2 and Air 2...

Hi guys.
I'm trying to update the android from the P585.
I already tried to install the T585/T580 ROMs, but it doesn't work.
I think it's because of the model, because it has a slightly different name ( gtaxllte Vs gtanotexllte )
Information about P585.
Device Name: gtanotextllte
Device: Model SM-P585M
Device CPU: arm64-v8a,armeabi-v7a,armeabi
I looked a lot on the internet for a ROM for the P585, but I couldn't find it.
Does anyone here already found ROM for P585?

Hey guys, may i ask? Is there a custom rom for samsung [SM-P585Y]?

How do you shut down a P585 using the physical keys?
I searched the web and got results for using the soft button and bixby.
I want to shutdown using the keys because I can't access the soft button.
